Harvard Bing Bongs


I'm not sure where I got this really. I just have it and it's recent in the pile.


It's a 12" ep. From a sole contemporary review I could find in an online archive of the Harvard Crimson this band was apparently from Boston and featured a couple of Harvard students among its members. Whatever. I'd never heard of them. There's a certain amount of novelty value in what they were doing. Maybe that's why they never registered. I mean, it's going to be hard to taken seriously with something like the "Chicken Song", but they are redeemed by a really odd and dark new wave deconstruction of  the Bee Gees "Stayin' Alive". Let that be your guide as to its worthiness of a listen.
